This advanced course focuses on the application of Bar Bending Schedules (BBS) in different types of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, including foundations, beams, columns, slabs, and other key elements in construction. Participants will learn how to prepare detailed BBS for various structural components, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in the detailing, cutting, and bending of reinforcement bars.

The course includes practical examples and real-world applications for preparing BBS in various structural types, enhancing the understanding of each component's unique reinforcement requirements. By the end of the course, participants will have the knowledge and skills to prepare BBS for complex structures with varying reinforcement configurations.
